I tried reading The Boys graphic novel because the show is very good and I put it down half way through the first volume. Homophobic, racist edgelord trash. I honestly can't believe someone turned that turd into something worth watching. Garth Ennis sucks poo poo.

It's incredible that both The Boys and (to a lesser degree) Preacher turned out to be pretty good shows.

He has some good runs, but that's when he has someone working over him or with him to keep him in line. Hitman was goofy as gently caress but also had some genuinely good moments, and the superman issue is one of my all time favorites. When he's left on his own, kinda like Miller, he goes off on some weird, hosed up tangents and it all turns to poo poo.

Moonfall is an interesting story stuck in a Roland Emmerich film. The movie is about how the Earth's Moon is a giant spaceship built by ancient aliens with a White Dwarf star power source and then the movie spends so much time on the logistics of getting to the Moon and even once the space stuff happens it keeps cutting back to Earth with a bunch of scenes that are just characters running around. Also there are a couple of lines dick sucking Elon Musk for no reason. Like a character goes "What would Elon do?" when trying to figure out his next move and then later that same character calls him a great man for (off screen) letting NASA use some Space-X equipment.

Star Trek mentioned Muskyboi already, he probably has executives three deep outside his zeppelin hangar begging for permission to enshrine his name as the saviour of humanity in their next project.

I honestly can't believe someone turned that turd into something worth watching. Garth Ennis sucks poo poo. Yeah, there's decent moments in there too, like Hughie has a bit where he calls out butcher for using transphobic slurs and how even he knows you don't deliberately use the wrong pronouns--which is probably more than you get from a lot of early 00s media--but when it gets bad it gets bad. Like I think Ennis understands that all these things are bad, and he uses them to try and signal to you the reader that these characters aren't really all that good. But he leans into it way too much imo and it definitely feels like he goes edgy for the sake of being edgy. The show is absolutely the better version in my mind without question. Especially after changing everything about MM besides the name.

Didn't all of the male Seven (minus The Deep) rape Starlight as an initiation in the comics?

Samovar posted:Especially since him and Jackson are evidence against Hammond's whole 'Spared no expense' spiel. The "spared no expense" stuff is just that Hammond is an out of touch millionaire. They indeed spared no expense on the shiny paint coats of the jeeps, on the luxury hotel, on the merchandise he wants to sell to tourists, on the catering services etc. But on the actual day to day maintenance, and park infrastructure, sure he might have waved a blank cheque in front of whatever accountant was doing the hiring, but he didn't pay any attention to it, nor did he even notice. Why would he, the 5 star chef employed at the hotel showed him that all was good and expensive, therefore right. Edit: Unrelated very stupid, very silly, very pointless question: So Donald Duck wears a sailor outfit as standard yeah? Do we know if he was ever in the navy? What was his rank? Did he retire, or was he dishonourably discharged due to his rage issues? It's a stupid question based off a stupid thing. But nerds often go deep into backstories/canon/reasons for little things in characters costumes, and there is no nerd like a Disney nerd.

One of the scienticians in this film is alarmed because the moon "has entered an elliptical orbit." Another one gives a value for the moon's gravity in "square meters."

That's the whole reason Huey, Dewey and Louie ended up with Scrooge originally, Donald was reenlisted.

Dr dolittle 3: There's a part where the girl who can talk to animals is at a bar or whatever and gets up on stage and says she's going to sing some "hick hop". It irrationally irritates me as a hick hop connoisseur because that's not what it was. It was just hip hop but people in cowboy outfits were dancing to it. didn't even have a mandolin in it also I'm really glad that cliche of someone starting to dance at a prom or whatever and everyone starts copying her exactly (despite having know way of knowing what the moves were going to be) died out as a way to show that the "weird" character is actually cool. "Do the Urkel" gets a pass though. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 00:01 on Feb 6, 2022 |

Its....not good Also, I love Roland Emmerich's dumb idiot movies so much and I can't wait to see Moonfall. I really hope there is an estranged father character trying to unite with his family in the face of the global disaster and also a noble stepfather who sacrifices himself so estranged father can get back together with his wife by the end of the movie

flavor.flv posted:I want to see more of Nedry in Jurassic Park, especially since the few glimpses we do get of his day to day work makes him seem pretty justified in betraying Hammond. It's just him and Samuel L Jackson's character running this entire multibillion dollar island complex and it's pretty clear he doesn't like it there either, but he copes by just half-assing his job and piling more stuff on Nedry until his boss orders him to go get ripped to pieces by velociraptors and there's nobody else to do it The book makes it completely clear that Nedry is 100% justified in betraying Hammond. He is an independent contractor who was brought in to write the software and is now being blackmailed by Hammond to stay on for free. Basically, Hammond wanted a poo poo-ton of changes to the software and is arguing that they should be covered by the original contract and threatening to tell Nedry's other clients that he is unreliable if he doesn't do it without extra pay. By the time Biosyn contacts him, Nedry has already riddled the park software with security holes and back-doors, just on the off chance that he would get an opportunity to gently caress with Hammond. Like you, I would have loved to see more of this kind of stuff. The book is much more overt about Hammond being an evil capitalist who treats his employees like poo poo.

Yeah he's the one that gets killed by the compys too, not Peter Stormare in the sequel. But he's got to be all gobsmacked granddad for Spielberg reasons.

He's a more interesting character in the movie. He's a cartoon billionaire rear end in a top hat in the book. Most of Gennaro's lines are his in the book.

What would be interesting about the character of Nedry is if you removed the fact that he is A: fat B: messy/sloppy C: played by Newman There’s a good chance many people wouldn’t see him as a villain
